Medication adherence usually refers to whether patients take their medications as prescribed (e.g. twice daily), as well as whether they continue to take a prescribed medication. Medication non adherence is a growing concern to clinicians, healthcare systems, and other stakeholders (e.g. payers) because of mounting evidence that it is prevalent and associated with adverse outcomes and higher costs of care.

My Health is an innovative application that tries to help patients adhere to their medications. This free application provides tools that many patients can benefit from.

On myHealth, you can keep records of your prescriptions and set reminders for each medication dose. You can set reminders for your prescription refill dates as well. A user can keep record of their doctors and set reminder for the next doctor visit. MyHealth has a medication compliance calculator to self-track your compliance rate.

If you are living in UAE, myHealth provides a unique service that makes your life much easier. In some pharmacies, your prescription could be printed on a card along with a QR Code which you can scan directly to your smart phone using myHealth app and the prescription will be directly saved in your calendar with automated reminders.
